"In 1995 the world was shocked by the news of the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa - writer, political activist, and leader of the Niger Delta's Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP). Yet his summary execution by Nigeria's brutal military junta was only the latest horrific event in a centuries-old pattern of human rights abuse and environmental exploitation.
MOSOP was formed out of a final, desperate need to protest the destruction of a people's land and culture by two forces: a giant multinational corporation, Royal Dutch Shell, and a series of corrupt and repressive Nigerian governments. In this book, Ike Okonta and Oronto Douglas present a devastating case against both Shell and Nigeria's military regime of the 1990s."--BOOK JACKET.
